Summary: Precious little romance in this novel
Review: Fans of Steve and Ginny hoping for equal passion with their now-grown daughter Laura will be disappointed. As a heroine, she's spoiled and brainless. There's little passion and still little romance although Rogers describes scenes of rape and sexual torture in loving detail. This book left me feeling like I needed a bath and the violence is the stuff of nightmares. Avoid, or buy used!

Summary: What a horrible disappointment - in many ways!
Review: I was horrified and disgusted by this book. What a blown chance to continue a great saga! The "love" scenes are few and done with little detail, certainly no erotic detail, while Ms. Rogers dwells lovingly and descriptively on scenes of rape and sexual torture. I think most romance readers read for that purpose - ROMANCE. This book was a perversion of the genre. I felt like I needed a bath after reading it. I think this author must really hate women....just like a rapist does! The female characters are constantly brutalized, not loved and desired.

Summary: Just Kill Them Off and Be Done With It!
Review: It's not very often I come across writing that goes against almost every grain in my body, but this is it. I found Laura's "super-strong-I-am-woman-hear-me-roar" attitude belonged the weakest female I have come across in a book. Take away her money and let her survive in the real world and this character wouldn't have a clue. I spent the first half of the book suspecting she was a lesbian just waiting to come out of the closet, and the second half convinced of it! Her love interest--was completely unbelievable--no substance. Why was he so angry? Because his father treated his mother badly? Then what does he do--go take over his father's title in England and live with his father's widow, of course, actually taking advice from her as if she were some kind of mother-figure. Laura's brother Franco, who was described as a strong, threatening sort of fellow, was as whimpy as they come, trailing throughout the book after a simpering little woman (Helena) that will not give up her title or her husband, like a damn dog sniffing after a poodle in heat. All through the book, carrying on an affair and always batting her little eyes at Laura to 'please help me cover up my affair with your brother,' Helena had absolutely no backbone and toward the end, when she is 'forced to intimacy' with Laura--I'm supposed to believe it's not what she wanted all along?? PLease! It was at this point I started cheering for the male kidnappers--disturbed though they were--they were honest about it! My greatest disappointment was that these 'women (and I use this term very loosely)' didn't die during their sojourn together!

Summary: Laura and Helena are Both Babes!
Review: So many people get hung up on the negative with this rip roaring sexy novel that takes you from London to Paris to sensual Gibraltar. Okay, Laura Morgan is impetuous and headstrong, and often acts before she thinks. But hey, did you ever hear of the Hilton Sisters? Laura is like that, and sure she tests her own body and her sensuality with every kind of sex you can think of, even trying out sex with women now and then. But deep down she's a real straight shooter -- literally in that she's a western cowgirl at heart. And yes, Trent Challenger loses his temper sometimes and calls her names. But when it really counts, he's there to rescue her, and boy do those nasty English dukes pay for messing around with bold Laura and shy Helena! You can't say that the sexual predators go unpunished, and Rosemary Rogers is always very honest about how cruel and evil they are. Frankly, this book is sexy in every way you can think of, not just in ways that involve violence and brutality. Check out the Gibraltar scenes, and you notice how carefully Rosemary Rogers keeps things in balance. Laura gets a massage from a very sweet and attentive Moroccan maid while Helena gets disciplined by her useless English lord husband. But in the end both girls are rescued and find happy endings with very virile American husbands who are rich, good looking and super passionate. So just relax and dig the pleasures of the hot-blooded and super rich.

Summary: Big disappointment
Review: This book had almost no plot, and was totally unbelieveable. The "kidnapping" was so far-out as to be ludicrous. The Steve and Ginny books had characters you could believe in, but here the characters were just thrown together like puppets. Why did Trent Challenger (what a stupid name) do what he did? Why did Laura Morgan do what she did? It was too much to be believed. Hope the latest book is better.

Summary: Paperback porn
Review: This book is so full of sex crimes, lesbians, bondage and totally moronic women that I wonder if it wasn't written by a man using a pen name. This is not romance and there is no love. Avoid and spend five bucks at Taco Bell instead, it's a better buy
